During his time at Morgan State, he helped lead the Bears to 53 victories since the 2006-07 season. In 2008, the Bears participated in the WNIT, the program’s first postseason invitation. Morgan State had three Top 100 recruiting classes while Graham was there (2005-06, 2006-07, 2007-08 by Blue Star Report, All-Star Girl’s Report and Girls Collegiate Basketball Report). The Bears ranked seventh in the nation in 2006-07 in field goal percentage defense and third in the nation in team steals in 2007-08.

His squads ended the season ranked in the top five by The Baltimore Sun on three occasions.
Prior to his stint at Western, Graham served four years as associate head coach at Dunbar High. At Dunbar, his teams tallied a 101-8 mark and captured three Maryland State 2A/1A championships. Dunbar also won two Baltimore City League titles and finished ranked No. 1 by The Baltimore Sun in 2001-02.
